Every day, at least 2 hours, rotate angles every 2 weeks or so, max weight 18-20. I notice my recovery time is greatly reduced doing it this much. It might not be for everyone, but I am a tough gainer so I need to be kind of hardcore with it.

I’m not sure, man. I wasn’t the best record keeper in the beginning. Had lig release in summer ‘05. I only measure FSL and I think I started around 6.25. I am currently 8.0 FSL (not BP). I’ll stop when I am 9.0FSL or at 45-50lbs hanging, whichever is first.

I don’t rotate. I go 4, 20 minute sets, consecutively. It’s interesting, my skin knows when I’m at the fourth set…tells me it’s time to stop! Conditioning the skin is so important when you are at high weight, or any weight for that matter.

This is what I like about the idea of hanging and why I have hope for it. If I do jelqs, I only about 30 minutes per day for PE. However, if I hang, I’ve got an hour, easy, maybe more. I’ve never done hanging before and hope it gives me the gains I seek.

Bubba, I’ll try something similar to your 4X20 minute sets.

Just make sure you listen to your dick. You are not after a set amount of time/pounds, but after fatigue, and the easier/lighter you can get that fatigue, the better.

I’m planning to get to 7 days of 4x20 minute sets. If I need the odd day off, fine, I’ll take it.

I think the recommendation is you do at least 10 hours per week of hanging, but you should listen to your own body.

I agree, but I certainly feel as though I’m not hitting that fatigue with 3 pounds 10 min on and 10 min off. Thanks for the advice, though. Appreciate it.

Gotcha, I’ve heard that most people don’t make “substantial” gains until around the 7-10# mark, so I’m thinking of this as my conditioning phase, and if I get some gains, great.

When are you planning on hanging andgrowing? Good luck anyways.

I actually started towards the end of last week. I was using a 3 lb weight 10 min on 10 min off. Today I used a 5 lb weight for 4, 20 minute sets. It felt as though it was accomplishing much more. I guess I’ll find out.

Which hanger are you using? All if I can ask. Seems this has a lot to do with how much weight and time sets.
